Connecting The Power Cable (Line Cord); Connecting The Audio Cables; Connecting Midi - Kurzweil K2500 - PERFORMANCE GUIDE REV F PART NUMBER 910251 CHAP 2 Reference Manual

Connecting the Power Cable (Line Cord)

The K2500 runs on 100-, 120-, 220-, or 240-Volt AC power at 50—60 Hz. Your dealer will set the
voltage switch to match the voltage in your area. The voltage level is set with a selector on the
rear panel of the keyboard models of the K2500. On the K2500R, however, the voltage setting
can only be changed by an authorized Kurzweil service center.
When you've connected the cable at the K2500 end, plug it into a grounded outlet. If your
power source does not have the standard three-hole outlet, you should take the time to install a
proper grounding system. This will assure you of avoiding problems with audio hum, and will
reduce the risk of a shock hazard.

Connecting the Audio Cables

Did you turn down the level on your PA yet?!
After you've turned down the level on your sound system, you can rig the K2500's audio
connections using a pair of mono audio cables. You'll find ten 1/4-inch jacks near the top of the
rear panel. For now, connect one end of each audio cable to your mixing board or PA system
inputs, and connect the other end to the jacks marked MIX L and R on the rear panel of the K2500.
If you have only one input available, use the K2500's MIX L output to get the full signal in mono.
It's always a good idea to make the cable connection to the K2500 (or any instrument) after
you've made your other audio connections, since this will reduce the chance of creating static
electricity that can cause an audible "pop" (and, in extreme cases, cause equipment damage).
Turn to Chapter 18 for more detailed information about the K2500's audio configuration.

Connecting MIDI

The simplest MIDI configuration uses a single MIDI cable, from the MIDI Out port of your
MIDI controller to the MIDI In port of the K2500. There are all sorts of possible configurations,
including additional synths, personal computers, MIDI effects processors, and MIDI patch
bays. Depending on your system, you may want to use the K2500's MIDI Thru port to pass
MIDI information from your MIDI controller to the K2500 and on to the next device in your
system. You can also connect MIDI devices to the K2500's MIDI Out port, which can send
channelized MIDI information from your MIDI controller. See the discussion of the Local
Keyboard Channel parameter in Chapter 10.
NOTE: You can perform a quick check of the K2500R and your audio system without a MIDI
controller connected to the K2500R. Hold down the CANCEL button on the alphanumeric pad
and press any other alphanumeric button, and you should hear notes. See "The Panel Play
Feature" in Chapter 3 for more information about this feature.
